At the same time, the steps of the common people also stayed inside the house, which remained stuck where it was.

In view of the possible havoc of Corona, there was an atmosphere of fear among every common and special people. There were also a large number of people who were far away from their people and their homes, many of them were working outside or had gone out to study or move around. or were away from home for some other reason. With the announcement of the lockdown, millions of people were trapped and somehow they were struggling to go to their homes. About 2.5 crore people travel in Indian trains every day. In an economic capital like Mumbai, the entire lifeline rests on the train. About 12,000 trains run here every day. 

However, on March 29, a few days after the lockdown was imposed, the Indian Railways had announced to run special trains to ferry people stranded in cities to their homes. Due to which the labourers and workers stranded in other states were transported to their states. Along with this, the government had also launched a scheme of free ration for the poor, so that the economically backward people living in the house do not have to face a food crisis.
